Criminology is the scientific study of why people commit crimes and why they behave in certain ways. The origins of criminology are usually placed between the 18th and mid-19th centuries. This was also a point of scientific discovery and the creation of a new field of academic study. One of these was criminology. Criminology was an act against the savage system of law, punishment and justice that existed before the French Revolution. (Adler, Mueller, Laufer & Grekul, 2012). There are many criminological theories that explain why an individual commits a crime. The anomie/blot theory and the labeling theory are two important theories in criminology. There are two different types of theories, psychological theories and biological theories. Both theories share the assumption that such behavior is caused by some underlying physical or mental condition that separates the criminal from the noncriminal. They try to identify the type of person who becomes a criminal and to find the factors that pushed the person to engage in criminal behavior. (Adler et al.,). First, anomie was created by the French sociologist Durkheim. Durkheim turned to French society to examine the suicide rate. According to Adler et al., (2012). The condition was created by Durkheim. In his 1897 publication, Suicide, Durkheim classified strain into two basic categories: social processes and personal experiences. These in turn produced two general types of tension: structural and individual. Social processes create the necessary environment for the interest of structural stress, and personal experiences cause individual tension. Structural tension applies to members of society who determine their own needs based on society's ideals and are constantly... middle of paper... their own person engaged in many crimes. On the other hand, the stain theory explains why people start committing crimes. For example, when an individual fails to achieve their goals in life, they may choose a different way that may be illegal to achieve their goals. I believe both of these theories are accurate. I also think it is important to examine these theories to try to solve this problem that can happen to anyone. In conclusion, stress theory focuses on those who commit crimes to achieve their goals and labeling theory focuses on those individuals who continue to commit crimes. crime. There are some solutions, for example when a young person is in conflict with the law his identity is kept secret. However, this solution only works for young people and not for adults. Therefore, this theory should be discussed further to fix more solutions.
